%m WHITE ASSAL " MRS BROSSEAU Says D. A, R. Shows the “Kn Klux Nightie” Emporia, Kansas, April § (P William Allen White, Emporia cdi- tor and author, said today that the spegkers' “black list" of the Daugh- ter§ of the American Revelution “goes out of ity way X ¥ x to pick out and inelude the peculiar enemies of the Ku Klux Klan." ‘He asserted that Mrs. Alfred J, Broascau, president-general of the D. A R, had placed individuals and arganizations under the ban of the D, A. R. disapproval without consult. ing her national board of manage- ment. Mr. White is on the D. A, R. “black i > s “Lovely Lady” ! “Mrs Brosseau ia a lovely lady, With many beautiful qualities of heart and mind,” he said, "but in her onthusiasm she has allowed several iengths of Ku Klux nightie to show under her red, white and blue, “The D, A. R, has yanked the Klan out of the cow pastures and aset it down in the breakfast room of re. spectability, removing {ts famous Tieod and putting on a transforma- tion.” Mr. White said he had before him an official list of prescribed organ. ‘zations received by the Emporia chapter of the D, A. R. “This list,” he said, “particularly picks out organizations affecting col- ored people, Jews and Catholles. For instance, one of the banned organ- izations is the National Catholic Wel- fare Council, another is the League of Jewish Women; still another is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.” Replies to President The editor's statement was in re- vly to one ssued in Washingten y terdgy by Mrs. Bromeau in which charged him with an “absolute mia- statements of facts’ ‘in naming the Y. M. C. A, the Y. W. C. A, and the General Federation of Women's clubs as among organizations named on the “black lat." Mr. White said he had no need to defend himself against “the charge of socialism” becauss of his known record as a republican party worker. In a previous statement he said his name went on the “black list" be- cauge he wag alleged to be a soclalist. “But, I cannot defend myself from laving led the fight against the Ku Klux Klan feur years ago, and that mway be the reason why 1 am includ. ed with the Jews, the colored people and Catholies, whom Mrs. Broasean's ovganization has so cruelly included in her patriotic list. She now can have the last word. T am done.” LADY HEATH ARRIVES Makes Flight Almost Alane From Cape Town to Cairo Establishing | Three Records.
